The reverse is especially nice. Looks like die polish lines on it like you see on highly graded coins. Not that my statement makes sense, but a...
lol.........I'm easily amused, and have thick skin. Ask Sunshine Charley. :p Love this forum, and love to joke around.
I only voted #3, but I know little to nothing about Jeffersons. The comment about lighting is probably very true. Shadows play tricks on the eyes.
I missed it! What was your thought?:D
But of course they are. I used the seller's photos.:D The luster/toning combination in this one was too much to resist, but that chip is highly...
Took a flyer on this one this week, won't get for a week or two probably. Wasn't terribly expensive for a common date and mint. Will send it off...
It would be way too soft and get beat up before it ever made it to a holder or slab.
I have no idea. But for old coinage, maybe it's better that it was only 90% silver. The other 10% copper might have given it a longer shelf life...
I think sometimes staples in flips are the debil in old coin flips when stacked together or shipped like that. I get seriously pissed off when I...
You should check out eBAY. A lot of the big dealers are frauds when it comes to lighting. Not all but there is a basketful I'm aware of. I'll buy...
Other than the cheek scratch it looks fine to me. ??
Very nice. I have no experience grading these. Looks awesome to me.
Thank you. I can almost do a complete Peace dollar set without buying a single coin, just need the 1921, and the 28's. I'll work on that later...
One day I'll post my complete graded set. Most are MS UNC except the really tough ones. I've still got a little ways to go. I'm mostly missing the...
Not weird, it's the OGH. Lots of collectors pay more for those because there is a general belief they are undergraded for the modern grading...
I saw this a couple of weeks or so ago in the news. The spot price of gold went UP that day it was reported. Go figure. :p
You can have a complete set without the 1895. There was no business strike for that year in P. Now if you want the 1895 proof, you could just...
I completely get that. There are some years/mint marks I have a half dozen of duplicate MS examples in my graded collection. VAMs also get my...
I believe you are correct. It's disappointing sometimes when a coin has brilliant luster but has a few flaws. Many times a high AU coin is more...
And that's how the addiction begins. 1878 is just the gateway drug. :p
